PCC Statement - Bournemouth Protests
Last night across the country saw a majority of peaceful demonstrations take place - thanks to robust, effective policing and to the approach taken by those who chose to protest.
My thanks go to our officers and to those from Devon and Cornwall police who stood in Bournemouth last night, shoulder to shoulder, in order to prevent disorder and to protect the public.
I want to thank them for what they did and what they continue to do. I recognise just how intensely demanding the job they are having to do is right now and I know that every right minded citizen would want to thank them too.
David Sidwick
Police and Crime Commissioner
